Relief

To provide temporary support for people in crisis

There are times when immediate, temporary relief is needed by individuals and families. Whether it be sudden displacement from their homes, traumatic illness that renders the head of the household unable to work, or a disaster of human or natural causes that decimates a way of living, we are called to be servants and help our neighbors. Working together we have the capability to provide support so that transformation and development, which take time, can begin.
